WEST END ALL RIGHT.

No Need of Rushing the Mourners-
Gen. Russ Returns From Gin
clnnati.
A LIGHT representative looked In on
the genial general agent OF the West
End this morning. His broad palm WAS
open as usual; his frank, hearty smile
and welcome were an assurance that the
pulses OF life were in full tide and that
the vitality of a whole man was ready
to expend itself in working out the des-
TIMES of San Antonio in general, and
West End in particular. The general is
well. hearty, pleased with his trip, san
guine over the situation, ready for busi-
ness, more than satisfied with the Gin
cinnati end OF the situation, and waiting
to see how matters are moving at the
San Antonio end before committing
himself very freely to the quill OF the In
sinuating reporter. All the same the
ten minutes Interview was not unprO-
ductive Ofresults. 1t was very easy to
see that he was brim-full OF business,
had no idea Of letting go his grip in the
building up Of manufacturing enterpris-
es In this city, had mighty big
notion that 1t was far wiser to induce
others to build our hotels and mAnufsc-
tories than to do 1t ourselves In the
present condition OF our cash boxes, and
believed that by judioiOus advertising
there would he no difficulty 10 inducing
capital this way.
Gen. Russ places the emphasis first,
last and all the time on manufacturing.
The West End Syndicate he regards as
merely part Of San Antonio's business
ready to furnish desirable homes for
those who would come as we'll "a those
who are already here, and ready and
willing to do its share 10 furthering
every effort to build up this city. The
good, the improvement, the increase,
the permanent benefit Of this city 10 his
hobby, and for this end he assures the
LIGHT readers that the West End Syndi-
cate will do all that they can reasonably
be called upon to do for Its accomplish
ment. The Syndicate asks nothing for
itself, bat everything for San Antonio.
As to their work specifically, the par
ticulsrs will be given 80 soon az confer
ence is had with the San Antonio end
and matters duly digested.
While absent General Russ made o
very extended trip through the north
ern states as far as Canada. After look
ing over the entire ground, the drouth
stricken and more favored regions as
well, he returns to Texas doubly assured
OF the future OF this city and his conf
dence and faith In San Antonio greatly
strengthened.
Though not communicative as to
specific movements, and not inclined to
commit himself the General intimated,
quite cautiously, however, that In the
course OF q few weeks San Antonio
might be very agreesbly surprised at
the news Of investments made by out
side capital. The General did say, how
ever, that the need OF this city was
more money, more men, more work for
the men now here and that this would
only be secured by the establishment OF
Industries that wonld employ labor. His
idea was that the men, the company, the
syndicate that brought outside capital
and built up our population, was the
real benefaotor. Not those who worked
for personal but for public benefit were
working for the city's Interest.

The Exeter Theatre Victims.

LONDON, Sept 6,-The victims by the
burning Of Theatre Royal at Exeter last
night. were mostly working people. As
soon as the flames were extinguished a
large force OF men began searching for
bodies. The stairway leading to the
gallery was literally packed with bodies,
while at the head Of the stairs there
were scores Of others piled on top o
each other. The unfortunate victims
had rushed TO the door when the alarm
was given, but found the stairway
blocked and all means OF escape cut Off
In q short time the flames had reached
them and they suffered a horrible death.
There were pitiful scenes In the vicinity
OF the burned theatre this morning, as
the friends and relatives Of supposed
victims awaited the recovery OF bodies.
In many cases fathers and mothers
both persisted, and numerous children
are thus left without means OF support.
Several OF the bodies are burned so that
only small oinder remains. The num-
Der ofpersOns severly injured Ia sixty.
1t is feared the death list will reach 40.

Bell and Bros. Assign.

The whole city was startled this
morning by the news that the old relia-
BILE jewelry house OF Bell & Bro. had as
signed for the benefit OF their creditors.
The LIGHT could not credit the report,
but upon investigation the rumOr was
confirmed. No reliable information can
now be given as to settlement. Mr..
Sam Bell the junior member OF the house
has given $40, 1000 bond as assignee, and
will prepare a statement for the credi-
tors within the next ten days. The
amount Of Indebtedness is roughly stat
ed at S25, 600, to offset which is the stock
and accounts. Failure to make collec-
lions, owing to drouth and condition OF
cattle market was the cause OF suspen-
sion.
Bell Brothers was the oldest house In
this city, established In 1852 During
these 50 years they have established
a reputation FOR honesty, Integrity, reli-
ability and business quality which rem
ders their present misfortunes doubly
distressing, while giving them the
hearty sympathy OF the entire commu-
nifty. They have not grown rich dur
ing these years, but have simply
paid expenses. Their manner OF living
as well as doing business disarms all
criticism, and only deep expressions of
regret are heard on ali sides. Taking
great pride in their business they have
always kept large stock, and this dur.
ing the years Of drouth has proved a
heavy drsugnt upon their resources.
There Is very general and earnest wish
expressed on the street that the suspen-
sion may be but temporary, and that the
firm which is 80 well and favorably
known in Western Texas may soon be
able to resume. All that men OF honor
can do they will do to meet their obliga-
tions and beyond this they cannot 60.
For thirty-fye years they have paid 100
cents on the dollar and their inability to
do so today is to them the most uncom-
Portable reflection OF all. The LIGHT will
Inform its readers OF any matters that
may trsnspire in connection with the
settlement Of the affairs OF this house.

A Sheriff That Gets There.

ALBUQUERQUE, Sept. Ga desperate
shooting ARRAY occurred last night at
HolbroOk, Arizona, in which Andy
Cooper and q half brother named Sam
Blevins we're killed by the sheriff, and
John Blevins and Nose Roberts we're
wounded. Sheriff Owens learned that
the four men had arrived In Holbrook,
and with his Winchester he started
alone to arrest the desperadOes. Arriv-
ing at the house, he knocked, and upon
the door being opened by Andy Cooper,
the only reply he received was bullet,
without injurying him. The fire was
returned, and Cooper fell dead. Shoot
ing then became general. Owens took
position at the window, shooting all
three men inside. Sam Blevins, one OF
the killed, Is boy IA years old. but fully
as desperate as his older companions.

BETTER HOTEL ACCOMMODATION.
Meeting OF Citizens In the Council
Chamber to Accomplish this
Object.

Chamber to Accomplish this
Object.
a meeting OF citizens was held last
light In the council chamber to consider
the question OF providing suitable hotel
accommodation FOR visitors to San An
tonic. Many prominent citizens were
present and, TO their credit be IL said,
they manifested considerable interest In
the proceedings.
MIR. W. J. B. Patterson called the
meeting to order and explained that
although this idea proceeded from the
citizens associations work, this was not
a meeting OF the association. He there
fore suggested that Oh ,irman be elect
ed, and mentioned MIR. Albert
Maverick as suitable gentleman
for the position. Mr.. Maverick
declined. Then Mr.. j. s. Alexander
was nominated, and he also declined.
Ultimately DIR. CarOthers was elected
chairman and J. N. Groesbeck, secre-
tary.
At the request Of the chairman Mr.. j.
y. Alexander said there was a desire,
and he believed, a necessity for a subur-
ban hotel with modern improvements.
Plans had been prepared and several
gentlemen had agreed to subscribe not
less than 81 600 each to the work. Esti-
mates showed that hotel OF a suitable
character In brick, to accommodate 200
persons, could be built for $780,
600. and he was OF an opinion
that this should be done. lie would
ike, however, to hear other ideas, espe-
oially those OF Mr.. Collins. That gem
tleman, in responding, said that In
soliciting funds for the Citizens 1850
citation he found that the expression up
on all sides was that first-olass hotel
was needed, and he thought IL could be
easily got II men would only put their
shoulders to the wheel.
Capt. Schryver suggested that the ar
chitects' plans be submitted, and this
was done. Mr.. Patterson, however,
thought this action premature, as the
first thing to be asoertained was, would
the community support the enterprise?
Mr.. Alexander said that In CONVERSE
tion with northern physician, led him
to believe the hotel would be a success.
That gentleman alone would send many
patients here and would have the CO.
operation OF the leading physicians Of
Philadelphia aud New York.
Col. Belknap gave similar testimony.
The only thing necessary was good hotel
accommodation. He read q telegram
from Col. K. ID. L. Wickes, saying: "Win
subscribe literally for any site located;
prefer Government hill.
After some discussion IL was decided
to call mass meeting OF the citizens In
the council chamber on Thursday next
In order that the feelings OF the citizens
on this matter could be better ascer-
tanned.

The Anarchist Cases and Supreme
Court.

Court.
OTTAWA, Ills Sept. 6.-The autumn
session OF the supreme court of the state
begins at o'clock this afternoon Owing
to the fact that during this session the
fate Of seven anarchists, who are now
under death sentence Is to be decided.
there is intense interest In the assem-
bling Of the court. Opinions and specula-
tions here today as to the probable de-
cison is in direct opposition to the gen.
orally accepted belief In Chicago.
There the announcement is made by
the press that the decision OF the lower
court has been affirmed and lie universal
ly credited; here, lawyers and others in
terested in the case believe that the de-
PENDANTS will all be given a new trial. II
the decision Of the new court In these
cases (all In one) Is affirmed, the law COM
pels the court to deliver an oral as well
as written opinion, and also
to fix the day Of the execution of the
prisoners. In this event the opinion will
probably be very brief. II, on the other
hand, the decision OF Judge Gary's
court Is reversed, the opinion will be
vOluminous. The clerk OF the court does
not look for any announcement In these
cases until the second or third week OF
the term, and also predicts an opinion
OF from 5000 to 10000 words.
